Easily, it'll go in a BX, so it'll fall into a Xantia..
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Me and Kitch managed to squeeze a 16v tailgate into the back of my AX, so I'd be shocked if it didn't go into a Xantia :lol:

Ive decided that older tailgates Must be cast different.Ive managed to drill and pop on my push chair handle tail spoiler.However im having terrible difficulty in the reason im having to cut through the inner skin to get to the bolts.There are no pre-cast marks where there were on the tailgate it came off im sure.Never the less its going on whether it likes it or not!
Looking good,its now got front fogs,chin spoiler and rear spoiler,Tailblazer and headlamp covers.Going to book her in at the garage for hydraulic leak sorting so i can get suspension up and fit the Speedline alloys ive got waiting in the garage at home so hopefully she may see the road by summer after her near terminal rest in the field.

Hi
I will remove the spoiler and wiring and bring that to the national so if anyone wants it it will be there

Regards Kermit

I am going to take some more of the useful bit's off of my old TZD and then get the rest taken away as i don't have space to keep it.
It resides at the moment in a neighbours garage and they need the space to clear their loft ready for a loft extention to get started.
